About Us
The Sustainability Research Group hosted by Ethical Markets Media is a collaborative effort to bring together students and practitioners of sustainability in a research effort to promote the best sustainable practices available and develop the best practices for the future. The Group is interdisciplinary, international and interactive. Fields for research range from economics to community development, from policy analysis to program implementation. Members of the research group present their own work and share the resources they have found useful or insightful from around the web and around the world.
Ethical Markets Media disseminates information on green investing, socially responsible investing, green business, green energy, efficiency, business ethics news, environmentally friendly technology, good corporate citizenship and sustainable development by making available reports, articles, newsletters and video gathered from around the world. Our mission is to reform markets globally by showcasing the most ethical, best-governed, cleanest, greenest organizations so as to help raise standards worldwide.
These subjects have long been followed, researched and promoted by founder Hazel Henderson, a world renowned futurist, evolutionary economist, a worldwide syndicated columnist, consultant on sustainable development, and author of the Axiom and Nautilus award-winning book Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy (2006) and eight other books. All her articles and editorials are available at www.ethicalmarkets.com and www.hazelhenderson.com.
